Calling All Agents of Change: Why You Need to Be at The Endometriosis Summit 2026
The time for whispering about pelvic pain is over. The time for accepting “normal” misery is gone. It is time to Innovate, Restore, and Advocate.
This March, the Endometriosis Summit returns, and the mission is bigger than ever. The theme for 2026 is “Agents of Change,” and we are calling on every patient, practitioner, surgeon, and supporter to report for duty.
Co-founded by ESSI’s own Dr. Andrea Vidali and pelvic physical therapy pioneer Dr. Sallie Sarrel, this isn’t just a medical conference. It is a movement. It is the only place in the world where the surgeon and the patient sit side-by-side as equals, rewriting the narrative of this disease together.
Here is your briefing for the weekend that changes everything.
The Mission: 3 Days, 3 Goals
The Summit is divided into three distinct tracks, designed to tackle endometriosis from every angle.
Day 1: SURGERY MISSION: INNOVATE • ADVANCE • ELEVATE
-
EMBRACE NEW RESEARCH, TOOLS, AND TECHNIQUES.
-
MOVE THE ENDOMETRIOSIS FIELD FORWARD & MASTER SURGICAL SKILLS
-
RAISE THE STANDARD OF CARE FOR PATIENTS EVERYWHERE
-
HANDS ON LAB EXPERIENCES
Day 2: WORKSHOP MISSION: EXPLORE • RESTORE • TRANSFORM
-
UNDERSTAND THE ENDOMETRIOSIS EXPERIENCE
-
GAIN TOOLS TO HEAL – BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT
-
MOVE FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING
-
EXPLORE INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICES TO IMPROVE FUNCTION AND RESHAPE ENDOMETRIOSIS FOR ALL
Day 3: TOWN MEETING MISSION: ADVOCATE • AMPLIFY • UNITE
-
VOICES RISE AT THE OPEN MIC TO SHARE TRUTH, SPARK DIALOGUE, AND DRIVE CHANGE.
-
CHAMPION ACCESS, INFLUENCE POLICY, AND PUSH FOR SYSTEMIC REFORM.
-
AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF THOSE WITH THE DISEASE AND THOSE TREATING THE DISEASE.
Why “Agents of Change”?
We chose this theme because endometriosis care is at a tipping point. The old guard is fading. A new generation of Agents—educated patients, skilled excisionists, and holistic practitioners—is taking over.
-
You are an Agent when you refuse to accept a 10-year diagnosis delay.
-
You are an Agent when you demand fertility-sparing surgery instead of a hysterectomy.
-
You are an Agent when you travel to get the care you deserve.
